Social scientists today frequently point to the need for historical perspec tive in current study of childhood and family, and to the failure of historians to give everyday, domestic life the attention it deserves.1 However, they are by no means united in their view of what the aims and methods of such a study ought to be. Some believe that the writing of children and families into the history books is intrinsically worthwhile, since their absence is a distortion of the past, an imbalance between the private and the public realms of human experience. Often underlying their view is the belief that, in any case, the two worlds are causally related. Since 'all people start as children and ... all peoples begin in their nurseries', then what happens in the families of the past must have historical relevance.2
